The Quarry

This page is intended as a guide for members and visitors to Errwood Reservoir. Please email admin@effc.co.uk if you can contribute any additional information or pictures.

The Quarry, also known as the Sailing Hut featues deep water within feet of the bank. Care must be taken while fishing this area.

Stone from the area directly in front of the sailing hut was quarried to build the dam wall. Because of this there is an underwater cliff face that plummets to depths in excess of 100 foot. Fishing here can be hit or miss but fish are known to shoal here and in the bay to the south when they disappear from other parts of the lake. This area can prove fruitfull when there are a lot of terrestrials on the water.

The shallower bay can also be a good spot for the resident brown trout but tackle usually has to be down sized to catch these fish. It is one of the less fished parts of Errwood with most anglers only giving it the occasional cast as they make their way down to the broken tree, however there have been quite a few large fish taken from this area.
